Predicted soft X-ray fluxes for model atmospheres containing varying concentrations of CNO metals are compared with those observed by EXOSAT for the planetary nebula nucleus K1-16. An effective temperature in the range ≈ 125000 − 180000K is determined for K1-16 and a limit on the concentration of CNO in the atmosphere (between 0.02 and 20 ×solar relative to He) obtained. Some comments on the application of the models to the apparently metal rich star H1504+65 are included.
